LEYDEN'S
FUTURE
pertaining to each category. For example,
when discussing the geographical category,
he cited many corporations have assets worth
more than many small countries--America
Online, worth approximately $1.33 billion, is
economically the same size as Nigeria.
Though some effects of the Sept. 11 attack
may have been immediately evident, Leyden
said it often takes a decade to truly see the
results of a cultural event. For example, he
explained that the introduction of television
and birth control didn't create a controversy
for ten years.
He demonstrated what he thinks needs to
happen in the upcoming years with another
diagram, called the "Adaptive Advantage."
Describing it as the "axis to the future," the
diagram contained two arrows, which were
labeled all, self, long, and short. Short and self
create the current capitalist system, whereas
all and long create sustainable capitalism
what Leyden believes society needs to move
to.
"The 90s were about think out of the box;
in the next ten years, people will be building
new boxes," said Leyden, quoting Betty-Sue
Flowers in his presentation to best describe
the future movement. "It's up to you, it's up
to you."
Leyden's Website, wwwgbn.com, includes
many of his theories; he can be reached by e
mail at Leyden@gbn.com.
Greeks
celebrate
unity
Last week the four fraternities and three
sororities on campus competed against one
another in the annually held Greek Week.
The event is described by Inter Fraternity
Council President and Greek Week organizer
Tim Meyers as "very competitive." Although
Greek Week does award a monetary prize to the
winner, Meyers said a lot is still at stake among
the competing organizations.
"It shows who the fraternities on campus are,
and shows who has the most spirit," he said.
"It's all about recognition."
A different event was held each night of the
week, with the exception of Thursday. Points
were kept for each event, and the winners from
the prevailing sorority and fraternity both
received trophies.
All participants showed their support for their
organization. Many had banners and some took
extra steps to show their spirit, such as the sisters
of Alpha Sigma Alpha organizing a
"spiritwagon," and Theta Phi Alpha donning
penguin costumes.
Greek Week kicked off Monday with the Tug
of War held on the Reed lawn at 5:15 p.m. The
event was over in less than an hour, with the
TKEs and NETs bringing home first place.
The Obstacle Course was Tuesday's main
event, held at 5:30 p.m. behind Reed. This time
the Delta Chis beat out both the Sig Taus and
the TKEs to claim first place, and AEA pulled
together over Theta Phi and AZT to win.
Wednesday evening brought the most
important (and probably the funniest) event of
the week with Greek Sing. Because no events
were scheduled for Thursday, the Greek Sing's
points were double-weighted. Lauren Baught,
a member of ALA, said Greek Sing was her
favorite event.
"It had the most participation of any of the
events, and it was so great to see non-Greeks
come out and support their Greek friends,"
Baught said.
AEA and Sig Tau managed to win first place
in this event, though it is disputable as to whether
actual vocal skill played a role in this competi
tion as much as the entertainment value did.
Greek Week wrapped up Friday with the
Chariot Race competition behind Reed. Players
were responsible for making their own chariots
out of whatever they could.
For the fraternities, the 'TKEs secured first
place and Sig Tau came in second, while AEA
came in first and Theta Phi second amongst the
sisters
Trophies and plaques were awarded to the
ultimate winners of Greek Week on Friday. The
Greek Sing victory helped Sig Tau pull ahead
of the other fraternities to win the trophy. Alpha
Sigma Alpha beat out the other sororities to win
first place. Coming in second place for the
fraternities were the TKEs, and third and fourth
place went to the ZBTs and Delta Chi. For the
sororities, Theta Phi Alpha secured second place
and AZT won third place.
